Had a weird moment yesterday

As I have mentioned on here a few times I see a therapist.  It is great to have someone that you can talk to every 2 weeks that gives you trained advice and has "no dog in the fight" as my friend calls it.
Been doing this long before KP and long before NQRW.  It always helped me in small and big ways.  

Many people will say that a therapist should tell nothing at all about themselves.  Somewhat for self protection from a patient that goes nuts may stalk them and somewhat because some feel that the therapist needs to be a blank slate, because if I know the therapist is Jewish and I am Catholic or he is a liberal and I am a conservative or he likes red meat and I am a vegan that might influence how I see the therapy but I don't and neither does he so I know a bit about his life. 
I know he loves his parentsa for one.

So like I always do, as we were settling in I asked how he was.  I find out his mother had died in the two weeks since I saw him.  I offered my deepest sympathy and asked how his dad was taking it and would his dad be the type to now just go of a broken heart, was it expected or a shock and some other things. We talked for about 5 minutes on that.
Then I felt weird.
This guy lost his mom and while yes he seemed OK and if he wasn't he would still be home, I now had to shift gears and talk about my life. 
My mother is still alive...although I used it as a transition into my whole story about my mom and my talk w/ her.  I still felt as if how can anything I was going to say seem significant, this man lost his mom.
Felt very selfish to mention ME now after all this but I thought I should since it was my session....but the guy lost his mom.

I mentioned it again as I was going and told him I wanted to offer my codolences again.  He seemed to appreciate that.  

Life is full of weird moments
